In my head I had conflated duck and weak typing. I’m not an oop programmer (tbh I’m not much of a programmer to begin with) and since what Python does e.g. with file handles is closer to say in Haskell making a wrapper
DataStream x -> FileHandle x
Where like implementing the read/write/open etc methods are equivalent to implementing the function mappings.
Which is very different from say JS “Herr durr I’m going to cast an int to a string and then error” I assumed the latter was “duck typing”
I don’t know enough Haskell to tell you whether you’re right about that or not (read: I know literally zero Haskell) but that sounds vaguely correct. That said, JavaScript is strongly and dynamically typed as well – it’s just a lot more lenient with implicit type conversions than Python is because of obscure 90s bullshit.
Also: don’t let anyone tell you you’re not a real programmer. If you even know what Haskell is, you’ve more than passed my bar.
Thank you for acknowledging that. I’d also like to say for the record that you were literally one word off from being correct.
